Etymology of GIBB

One possible origin is from Middle English "gibbe", which means a round swelling or hump. This term could have been used to describe someone with a hump on their back, resulting in it becoming a surname. Over time, the spelling could have evolved into "gibb".

Another potential origin is from the Old Norse name "Gibbi", which was a short form of names like "Gilbert" and "Gibbert". These Norse names were later introduced to England by the Vikings, and "Gibb" could have been derived from such names.
